Fall 2009 - Fantasy Sports Draft Fundraiser:
As many people know, Darin was the ultimate sports fan. He participated in a number of fantasy sport leagues for years, and had the pleasure of serving as commish for Fantasy Basketball for a few years.
We kicked off our Fantasy Sports Fundraiser on Sunday August 30th. Want to participate? Here's how:
- If you're hosting or attending a draft party, ask your fellow leaguers to donate $5 or more to DCBF. You can encourage them to go to our website, www.dcbfoundation.org to donate, or you can collect the monies and forward to us via the website or through the mail. Our mailing address is P.O. Box 3726, Union, NJ 07083.
- Help us partner with local sports bars; If you're hosting or attending a draft at a restaurant or sports bar, let us know so that we may partner with the restaurant.
- For commissioners, please consider asking the winner of your league to donate 10% of the winnings to DCBF.
The league that raises the most money by October 15th will win (2) free tickets to DCBF's gala fundraiser "Celebration of Talented Youth," and will receive recognition at the event. Thanks and have a great season!
